We may not achieve the benefits of our strategic initiatives
We may not achieve all of the expected benefits of our strategic initiatives.

Year to date financial information is subject to further review
The selected YTD 2016 financial information presented herein is preliminary and only reflects certain of our results for certain 2016 periods specified in this presentation. This data has not been evaluated, reviewed or audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the YTD 2016 financial information contained in this presentation is inherently subject to change. This data should not be taken as a forecast or prediction of our results for 1Q16 as a whole or any other future periods.
Statement regarding purpose and basis of presentation
This presentation contains certain historical information that has been re-segmented to approximate what our results under our new structure would have been, had it been in place from January 1, 2014. In addition, "Illustrative,“ “Ambition” and “Goal” presentations are not intended to be viewed as targets or projections, nor are they considered to be Key Performance Indicators. All such presentations are subject to a large number of inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. Accordingly, this information should not be relied on for any purpose. In preparing this presentation, management has made estimates and assumptions which affect the reported numbers. Actual results may differ. Figures throughout presentation may also be subject to rounding adjustments.
Statement regarding non-GAAP financial measures
This presentation also contains non-GAAP financial measures. Information needed to reconcile such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures under US GAAP can be found in this presentation, which is available on our website at credit-suisse.com.
Statement regarding capital, liquidity and leverage
As of January 1, 2013, Basel 3 was implemented in Switzerland along with the Swiss “Too Big to Fail” legislation and regulations thereunder. As of January 1, 2015, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) leverage ratio framework, as issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), was implemented in Switzerland by FINMA. Our related disclosures are in accordance with our interpretation of such requirements, including relevant assumptions. Changes in the interpretation of these requirements in Switzerland or in any of our assumptions or estimates could result in different numbers from those shown in this presentation. Capital and ratio numbers for periods prior to 2013 are based on estimates, which are calculated as if the Basel 3 framework had been in place in Switzerland during such periods. Unless otherwise noted, leverage exposure is based on the BIS leverage ratio framework and consists of period-end balance sheet assets and prescribed regulatory adjustments. Leverage amounts for 4Q14, which are presented in order to show meaningful comparative information, are based on estimates which are calculated as if the BIS leverage ratio framework had been implemented in Switzerland at such time. Beginning in 2015, the Swiss leverage ratio is calculated as Swiss total capital, divided by period-end leverage exposure. The look-through BIS tier 1 leverage ratio and CET1 leverage ratio are calculated as look-through BIS tier 1 capital and CET1 capital, respectively, divided by end-period leverage exposure.

Summary
Our recent performance has further highlighted two key areas of challenge for Credit Suisse:
– Our fixed cost base and
– Our scale in Global Markets in the Americas and Europe
This has translated into pressures on our capital position as demonstrated in a lower than expected CET1 ratio as reported at the end of 4Q15.
A number of actions had been underway since October, to address these challenges. We had set ourselves:
– A gross cost saving target of CHF 3.5 bn by the end 2018
– A RWA target of USD 83-85 bn in Global Markets by end 2018 from USD 118 bn at 3Q15
When we presented our 4Q15 results on February 4, we said that we would reassess our plans to (i) reduce our cost base and (ii) right size Global Markets. Since then, the market environment has remained unsupportive, with continued pressure in 1Q16. Like for the previous quarter, Global Markets will contribute a negative result in 1Q16, albeit at lower levels.
We have now completed the reassessment of our plans and we are announcing today a step up in the pace of our restructuring with:
– An increase of our gross cost saving target from CHF 3.5 bn to CHF 4.3 bn with a CHF 1.7 bn gross cost savings target for 2016
– A new RWA target of USD 60 bn for Global Markets, approximately 30% below the previous targets

YTD’16, trading revenues have been disappointing and are expected to be down 40-45% compared to 1Q’15
Credit Products and Securitized Products have been most affected with slower client activity and further mark-to-market losses.
Emerging Markets has seen much lower levels of client activity as geopolitical nervousness and continued uncertainty about the Chinese economy has resulted in outflow of funds.
Equities has been less affected with solid results in Cash Equities, Equity Derivatives and Prime Services, compared to prior year.
Meanwhile, Macro results have improved benefitting from higher levels of market volatility.

Further optimization of Global Markets
reduces the division’s previous target
RWA level by 30%, from USD 83-
85bn to ~USD 60bn.
Division-wide RWA reductions will be
driven by inventory reductions in
Securitized Products, Distressed
Credit, CLO Secondary and other
illiquid inventories.
Global Market’s target for leverage
exposure will be reduced a further
22%, from USD 370bn to ~USD
290bn.
The primary drivers for leverage
exposure reduction are reductions in
Securitized Products and Illiquid or
Long-Dated Customer Financing,
partially offset by additional
reinvestment in Prime Services.
Reducing levels of resource consumption across Global Markets Changes will drive significant reductions in RWA and leverage exposure

2015 Year-End vs. Target Cost Reductions (USD bn)
Operating costs to be reduced by a further USD 1.2bn as a result of the new divisional structure and the previously announced ongoing
London Rightsizing initiative. Savings will be predominantly driven by:
− Reduction of front office headcount and further reduction in functions that support Global Markets
− Efficiency programs including migrating Derivatives infrastructure onto a single, common platform across Solutions – a transformation
of end-to-end processes and technology (~USD 0.2bn), and London rightsizing (~ USD 0.1bn)
The estimated cost-to-achieve to achieve savings is forecast at USD 1.2bn, with ongoing target operating costs for Global Markets
expected to be 20% lower than 2015 adjusted operating expenses.
Cost-to-Achieve: USD ~1.2bn
(20)%
Improving operating leverage in Global Markets Business exits and recalibration allow significant cost reductions to be targeted

SRU to incorporate the additional Global Markets assets
Transfer expected to be finalized in 2Q16 and will encompass:
Up to a further ~ USD 10-15 bn of RWA to be transferred into the SRU
Additional front office and other resources will be added to manage the exits from these
positions
The revised plan for SRU will include the run-off of components of the Global Markets
infrastructure as part of an expanded infrastructure plan across the two segments that
supports the cost goals and will minimize stranded costs
SRU is proving to be an effective utility to manage run-off assets separate from ongoing business
Restated cost and run-off plans will be provided once the transfers have been completed in 2Q16

2016: Expected to be the peak transformational year
Costs
Operating costs of CHF 19.8 bn in 2016, < CHF 18 bn by end of 2018
SRU is a core component of this with expenses from the original portfolio expected to decline by ~ CHF 750 mn in 2016 and a further ~ CHF 600 mn in 2017
The SRU utility will be further expanded in 2Q16 to support the Global Markets realignment, encompassing further GM infrastructure and developing an integrated plan with GM to minimize post run-off stranded costs
Restructuring costs expected to peak in 2016 at CHF 1 bn before dropping to CHF 0.6 bn in 2017

Raise CHF 1 bn through disposals in 2016
Improve capital generation through lower expenses
Increase capital in 2017 by CHF 2 – 4 bn through the minority IPO1 of our Credit Suisse Legal Entity Switzerland
Dividend Policy as per Oct 21st, 2015
Recommendation of CHF 0.70 per share dividend with scrip option until we reach our capital target. In any event, we will not continue with scrip beyond 20172. We intend to move to 40% Operating
Free Cash Generated (OFCG) payout as capital targets are met
